We often hear Of the ''good old LAYS Of
yore." Why deprive our children of the
enjoyment of those old days. Why not
pass a law f%orbidding steamboats, from
blowing the waters, railroads from run
ming on land, telegraphs from sending
messages, telephones from being used; all
furnaces, steam heaters, etc, to be taken
out of houses and other buildings; all
CRATES for burning coal to be taken out,
all stoves to be melted for old iron. ali
water works in cities to be left empty: the
use of all gas and other illuminators, ex-
cept dipped tallow candles, to be disused,
and really go back to the good old
times" say for five years. Then, II at
midnight on a cold, stormy night, Il doc
tor is wanted, he must be sent for instead
OF t~elephoning for him. II one wished to
send n message to n distance, instead of
t~elegraphing he must write n letter and
send it by stages to its distant place, and
wait patiently for days or weeks for the
answer.
When one goes home on n freezing night
he can sit by a wood fire, roasting on one
side while freezing the other, and reading
by the dim light of n tallow dip, instead
OF the blaze of a gaslight or the more
agreeable light of kerosene. If he under
takes a journey, instead of getting into
the cars and going where he wishes, the
best he can do is to take n stage at four
times the cost and ten times the discom-
fort of the cars. Let these and other mod
ern improvements be forbidden and good
old days" be brought back, how long
would it be before an extra session of the
Legislature would be demanded to knock
1.-THE good old days" into splinters, and to
restore the much better modern days
which we now enjoy and for which we
ought to be most devoutly thankful p

Zululand seems to be the Poland of
Africa. First Great Britain cut off a big
slice of Western Zululand, called it the
Reserve and drove the Independent Zulus
out of It because Natal did not like them
as neighbors. Then the Transvaal Beers
viewed what was left from their noun
tain tops, pronounced it n beautiful loca-
ton for IA new republic and invented a
pretext for moving in. They were actu-
ally trying to appropriate five-sixths Of
the country, when Great Britain stepped
in as a mutual friend, cut the land in two
in the middle and assigned the east half
to the Iulus and the west to the Beers, re-
serving n generous strip along the entire
coast for herself. So the warriors of Getty
wayo are being crowded into II corner Of
their heritage, while white men parcel out
the biggest and best part of it.-Foreign

Capt. Selah Dustin. who has COM
manded AXE craft without number. been
skipper of a woodward, and encountered a
good deal Of rough legal weather during
his stormy career, at one time ran n boat
between Detroit and Port Huron. The
captain prided himself on the p%unctuality
with which the lines We're cast OFF and his
boat left for its destination. One day.
while waiting for freight preparatory to
blowing the waves in the direction of Port
Huron, a stranger walked on board and
accosted the captain rs follows:
"What time does this boat go ~
"At q O'Clock sharp"
docs she 90 on time -
"She does-right on time
The prospective passenger here pulled
out his watch, and exclaimed:
why, it's a quarter after . now
Without the slightest perturbation and
in a tone of drawing placidity, the captain
responded:
well, then, this boat has been gone
exactly fifteen minutes Then he re-
sumed his supervision of the loading of
freight. -Detroi Free Press.

President Lincoln used to write long
letters to his military commander, and
copy them himself. Just after Gen. Joe
Hooker had taken of the Army
OF the Potomac a letter was penned, and
while the president yet retained it in his
possession an intimate friend happened to
be in his bin one night, and the presi-
dent read it to him, remarking; Il shall
not read this TO anybody else, but | want
to know how it strikes you During the
following April or May, while the Army
of the Potomac lay opposite Fredericks-
burg, this friend accompanied the presi-
dent to Gen. Hooker's headquarters on IL
visit. One night Gen. Hooker, alone in
his tent with this gentleman, said: 'The
president says that he showed you this
letter. and he then took N that docu-
ment. which was closely written on IL
sheet of letter paper. The tears stood in
the generals bright blue eyes AS he added:
lit is such n letter rs II father might have
written to his son. And yet ii hurt me"
Then, dashing the water from his eyes, he
said: when have been to Richmond |
shall have this letter printed" But
Fighting joe never reached Richmond,
and it was sixteen years before the letter,
which sharply criticised him, found its
way into print.-Ben; Perley Poore in

DR.. Porret has published some very
curious instances of exhausted muscular
power. OF course the writer's cranp is a
case i'll point; but there are professional
movements other than writing which ex-
haust the powers OF those who use them.
Niolinists lose the power OF manipulating
the strings with their left hand, and vio-
loncello players that of making the NUT
with their left thumb; compositors cease
to have power over the stick; tailors can
no longer sew, and even nailmakers can at
last no longer use the hammer. 1t il sa-
gaciously suggested that, in view Of this
disastrous state of things, everybody
should have II second calling to fall back
upon when the first gives out.-Boston

BOGUS MEDICAL DIPLOMAS.

A Correspondent Claims to Have Detected
an Alleged Physician In Lewiston, Me-,
Selling Medical Diplomas and Degrees.
Boston, Feb. 12.-The Herald yesterday
morning devoted whole page, claiming to
have detected an alleged physician named
Samuel York, Of Lewiston, Me-, In the
act Of selling medical diplomas and
degrees. The Hera'd's Investigations were
instigated by the fact that some time
ago, one DR.. James N. Buzzel, Of Portland,
was arrested for an alleged abortion, and Q
few weeks later, CDR" Morrill, was arrested
on similar charge in Lewiston, both claim
ing to be graduates Of the Maine Eclectic
Medical College, Of Lewiston. As Samuel
York, M. D., whose name is 6rst on the list
Of the incorporators Of the Maine Eclectic
College, as DR.. Samuel York, whose name
heads similar list in connection with the
very venerable Prof. 8. York, N, D., Dean
Of the Faculty Of the Druidic University Of
America, State Of Maine branch, he had
several strings to his bow. Some OF his 90
incorporators were reputable, well-mean-
ing people, but the whole concern was
practically managed by York. When the
Eclectic Inhrmary was started Q circu-
lar was issued, announcing that the
design was to establish Q free hospital, and
gifts were solicited. The HeruId's repre-
sentative under the guiss Of student, was
enabled to hear the professor conduct Q
''quiz" and much space 10 devoted in yester-
days article to that feature. According to
DR.. York's own statement the Druidic Uni
versity has 5000 graduates, or rather 5000
individuals connected with 1t. DR.. York
cared nothing about the students knowl-
edge about the subject mentioned In
the University catalogue, his sole
object being to get the price Of diploma,
giving, in return, the degrees Of A. NJ, N.
D., etc. The Herald vouches for the truth
Of the story, and claims that 1t can be sub
stantiated, II necessary, in any court Of
law. In its investigation 1t has been en-,
couraged In every possible manner by the
members Of the medical profession in Maine.
and by the municipal authorities Of Lewis
